In a strange way I hope he does stick it out and make a success over here as it may persuade NRL players who are not past their sell by date/damaged goods, to consider SL as an option.

Anthony Gelling left in disgrace. He settled in well and is successful.

So let me get this straight. According to Rubber Donedeal, we have a marquee signing in Clarke.

Our other marquee player then was to be both nailed on Ben Bara, and the again already signed shock new centre/half ??

Other than me saying "done deal" which was not quite so true...it obvious nothing got signed and was more talks. Rumour came my way it to be further advanced than reality.
However, that still doesn't mean it was made up and I'm a serial liar.

Are many of you so blinkered to think we didn't have serious talks with Barba??

Barba was never going to be a marquee....who would swap Clark for Barba?....come on! Who is more valuable? let's see how dumb some of you really are!

Clark had a massive increase in his contract to keep him out of the NRL.....who thinks it was a token gesture? Who thinks it was a modest bung? Who thinks it was a hike and half to ward off all avenues?

Well how about that...
It seems RD isn't such the serial liar after all.

Latest out of the club say Wire did everything from taking him around Padgate campus to offering him more money than Saints...
It's no surprise I was told he was a Wire after going along to Padgate.

Pretty much getting a penalty and hitting the crossbar...let's see how far off I am with the centre!!!!

Wolves had concerns over Barba's character. This from a team and a coach that sanctioned the signing of Chris Sandow and Ryan Bailey. What utter, utter nonsense.

Yeah that's utter .

It's not like they got all the way to signing and then checked his nightclub references.

We ultimately lost out to saints despite offering what sounds like a lot more money. Either he's been put off by the coaching staff or wanted to work with Holbrook again. Either way it's disappointing.

Embarrassing from us....almost as cringey as Duckie's woeful digging. We lost out....thought we had a bit more class than to publicly and uncouthly talk about money and the man's character. Also if barba turned down more cash for professional and personal reasons then that's a sign of decent character. We're losing the plot on and off the field at the minute.

that article is an absolute Shocker we should be absolutely ashamed.

I dont Know who the Club source is but they should be sacked.
If we lost out, we lost out, just have the good grace to say so and wish him well.

the whole rugby League world knew about Ben Barba and his Cocaine bust, most knew of his alcohol and gambling problems and some will have known about his alleged assault. Anyone looking to pay a huge amount of money for him will have known all of this.

its like wanting to buy a burnt out car and offering daft money and then when someone else buys it instead of you you say I didnt want it anyway it was burnt....

I'm not disappointed we have missed out on Barba but I am absolutely gutted at this shocking story.

they stated that he signed because he was coached by Holbrook before ?? When was this? Holbrook has never been a first team coach before and he coached the reserve side at the Bulldogs when Barba played in the under 20's.

Why the hell didnt we get Kevin Sinfield then? he really was coached by Tony Smith once.....

utterly pathetic and a really worrying sign that we are heading for a level of professionalism of an early Marwan Koukash style.

It sounds to me our club was convinced he would sign.
